$13B Manufacturer brings Supply Chain back in-house
(Supply Chain Recruiting)

What happens when you decide to move your Supply Chain Management and 3PL back in-house to have more control over your operations only to witness your large national recruiting firm not deliver the hundreds of supply chain professionals you need to sustain operations? Utter chaos ensues, fingers are pointed, production rates drop and delivery expedites of both materials and finished goods soar.

This is what led a $13B Global Manufacturer to a Detroit, Michigan based Supply Chain Recruiting Firm, The JMJ Phillip Group. If you could think of anywhere in the country that would have a deep understanding of supply chain operations it would be Detroit, Michigan simply due to the large scale complex manufacturing operations of the automotive industry.

Our new client explained their mass hire problem while noting that they are already 90 days behind schedule and banking on our Executive Search Firm to not only make highly qualified placements but also expect them to be done under extreme time constraints. Their supply chain recruiting problems were also compounded with trying to fill positions all across the United States in both major metropolitan areas and rural areas where relocation was the only option.

The Supply Chain Executive Recruiting Team assembled a plan of execution that included an “any means necessary” approach to driving candidate referrals. Understanding the supply chain sector is only a small component of a great recruiter, one must also be a top notch sales professional and negotiator when it comes to making highly targeted rapid placements in not only in major metros but also in the more undesirable areas of the country. These unique and rare skill sets are not found in most recruiting firms but we can attribute the same skill sets not only to our success with this client but also to our continued success for well over a decade now.

Our clients end result was the rapid and strategic placement of their most imperative and hard to fill supply chain positions in multiple locations. Not only did the JMJ Phillip Executive Recruiting team get them back on track, they also ended up saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost overruns and damaged customer relationships.
